The property's location is frequently highlighted as ideal, being close to amenities, shops, and the seafront. Its proximity to local attractions and the ease of exploring Millport are appreciated by guests.
The property is generally regarded as comfortable, with a particularly comfy bed and well-appointed space. However, a few guests noted the lack of seating for three people and one mentioned an uncomfortable mattress, slightly affecting the comfort score.

Beautiful flat. Ideally located within walking distance of town centre - shops, pubs, restaurants, cafes & bus stop to ferry. Well appointed with everything you could possibly need. Welcome pack with milk, bread & biscuits. Tea & coffee plus usual condiments in kitchen. Safe & secure back garden for our furry friend, who had a great time sniffing about all the nooks & crannies. We'll certainly be back.
